Cheers Phill, and if you ever need to use the press for ball joints (or anything else) you're more than welcome!

Great work, and be prepared for parts being sent to you for refurb ! 👍
Nice one well done, getting them out is actually the easy part putting them in can be a bit more tricky if you do not have everything lined up correctly. I think on my first attempt I did destroy a joint and had to order a new one. Go slow if the press moves slightly to one side things are not centered correctly adjust and try again.

Alistair,
My hat is off to you young man. I have always sent my trailing arms off to have the joints changed.
Hope you are alos looking after your safety and wearing a face shield when you have the press in operation. 20t is a lot of potential stored energy that needs to go somewhere when things let go!
Cheers

Thanks Bushboy,
Yes, I have lots of PPE for my work and had face protection when using the press .... and many thanks for calling me a 'young man'. You've made turning 60 before the end of this month a bit more bearable!
.... I just hope I can get my Nova back on the road again before I start collecting my pension!

It's a 52 year old car and everything works, just not always at the same time.......and it's probably about to get jealous!

It was my son that prompted me to start rebuilding my car... When I bought it it was supposed to be my retirement project, something to do once I had retired. However he gleefully pointed out to me that if I wait to long before getting it back on the road, I'd end up too old and decrepit to get into it...
